One day, I was strolling, just relaxing with my friends when I notice this guy reading a book. He was new in the area but the book was a book I had read and adored. So of course I approach this boy hoping to befriend him and bond over the series. Being the socially awkward fail I am, I rehearsed what I’d say: “Hey, we’ve [my friends and I] wanted to come over to say hi as I noticed you were reading a book I liked and I hope we can chat in the future.” But no. Once we got to him I panicked and just said abruptly “We’ve come to hello you.” and I think my voice cracked and I was on the verge of tears. I’ll avoid them from now on.
